Since 2008, Eduniversal has been ranking 1000 business schools and universities from 154 countries, which are divided into nine geographic world regions. The first step of the each year‘s evaluation is taken by the International Scientific Committee (ISC), comprised of 11 members, which is responsible for the Official Selection of the best 1000 business schools. These schools are then divided within each country into five levels of excellence (the Palme of Excellence) according to a set of criteria designed to determine a school’s international influence, reputation and quality, especially the extent of internationalization. They include the existence of international accreditations, position in international rankings, membership in international organizations, the quality and number of partner schools and the school’s reputation as well as its importance in the region. Third but no less important element of the evaluation is the evaluation of Rectors and Deans of the 1000 selected universities. When evaluating, Rectors and Deans answer the following question: “Which school would you recommend to your students if they wanted to study in the given country?”
Based on these criteria, all schools are divided into five groups, which are characterized by the number of palms. Worldwide, only the hundred best schools get five palms and VŠE is among them. The ranking’s aim is to provide students and professionals with a global perspective of the top-class universities and the possibilities of where to acquire high quality management education.
